Rogério Apolónio de Sousa (18 April 1910 – 1976) was a Portuguese footballer who played as an outside forward.

Club career

Born in Funchal, Madeira, during the time of the constitutional monarchy, which would last a further six months. In his youth he started to play football with a leather ball in the extreme poverty of Madeira.^[1]

He joined Benfica in 1932, where he would play as outside forward in a typical 2–3–2–3 formation supporting Vítor Silva, Valadas or Espírito Santo. In his first season, he helped the club stop a 12-year winless run in the Campeonato de Lisboa.^[2]

In 1936–37 Primeira Liga, he was the team topscorer with 19 league goals, 32 in all competitions, as Benfica conquer their second league title.^[3] His last game for Benfica was a 2–1 win over Carcavelinhos on 16 June 1940.^[1]
